["Adolescent crisis" diagnosis reflected in the Rorschach diagnosis].
In clinical practice the problem of diagnosis and illness concept in adolescent psychiatry is related to the highly important consequences concerning various therapeutic approaches. Though the socalled diagnostic category "adolescent crisis" is not a real psychiatric one it serves for this purpose. The first part of this report is a review on the development and common use of this concept. The second part is an attempt to investigate the phenomena of adolescent disorder which constitute the diagnosis. For this research we use the Rorschachtest based on the study of 10 catamnestically controlled single cases. Evidence for the prognostic value of the Rorschach-results is-with respect to the question "adolescent crisis or schizophrenia?--the patients' clinical state and Rorschach-findings 5 years after their first hospitalization. In addition an attempt is made for find a Rorschach-syndrome which is related to the diagnosis "adolescent crisis".
